Manufacturer's Description

With all new content from J.R.R. Tolkien's original fiction, delve deeper than ever before and engage in new battles that go beyond the award-winning movie trilogy. Wage war in the North and assume command of the most storied civilizations in all of Middle-earth history the Elven and Dwarven armies or fight on the side of Evil with heroes and creatures that have never been seen in The Lord of the Rings films. Defend or overtake never before seen lands such as Dol Guldur, The Misty Mountains, and Mirkwood as you unleash powerful new weapons and abilities - summon dragons, cause volcanoes to erupt, or bring down a cataclysmic lightning strike.

But beware, with greater power comes greater adversity. Your enemies, commanded by a powerful new AI system, possess a greater tactical edge and more powerful spells. Will your armies have the fortitude to persevere?

4.0 out of 5 stars At least 48 hours of gaming satisfaction guarantied!!!, 17 Aug 2006
By Gamer 4 lyfe "josh m" (Swindon, England) - See all my reviews
The Lord Of The Rings:The Battle For Middle Earth 2 is the sequel to the it's popular predecessor BFME 1. It's release was highly anticipated and for a good reason. The graphics are spectacular and the gameplay is explosive and it is for this reason that you need a special type of computor to run this product. Thousands of people have complained that the game simply won't run on their machines, even if they meet the minimum system specs you need.

The producers of the game, EA games have said that they cannot be held responsible for compatability problems and simply tune out their "valued" customers comments and complaints. If you have your heart set on this game, i recommend a computer made around december 2005 or later to maximise your chances of running this game.

On a jollier note however, this newer version boasts a variety of new features such as an improved AI system that can challenge even the most hardened of players with a more strategic system. It also boasts a new mode of play called "the war of the ring mode" where you can not only relive, but experiance some of the greatest battles in the lord of the rings trilogy as new and old factions. while you can choose to playing as men, isengard and mordor, you also get to choose from some new factions such as the dwarves, goblins and elves who each have their own weapons and technology to suit their culture and history.

Choose to play a skirmish in helm's Deep, the ettenmores and even the firery domain of mount doom as well as a bundle of new landscapes not seen in the movies!

One great new feature even allows you to create your own hero or villian and send he or she directly into the middle of the action. choose your heroe's weapon, armor, powers and attributes to craft your own middle earth legend. However, there arn't any options to change your heroes facial apperiance or build ect, so if you were looking to put a spitting image of yourself into a battle, that won't happen. unless you look like a troll or an uruk that is!

All-in-all this is a great and highly addictive game and the only reason i gave it 4 stars is because of the compatability problem, not the game play. And for just £17.99, its a real bargain! buy it!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Definately worth it, 10 Mar 2007
By A. Allcock "Gamer" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Unlike all the other lord of the rings games-whatever console they're for-I've noticed they all follow the same events-the journey of Frodo and aragorn down south or around that area. I love this game because it gets away from this and (in the campaign-either baddies or goodies) concentrates on the fights between dwarves and elves with sauron in the north, (In skirmishes though you can still play with whoever you want anywhere so don't let this put you back).
You start off fighting in rivendell and slowly travel around fighting in different places against different heroes and races.

All heroes in campaign or skirmishes devastate with great attacks and dominate the battlefield. I also love the fact that you can actually put walls round your base (even though uruks easily come and poke them down).
All unit factions have advantages and disadvantages and you can place them in battle lines or hide them in trees and finally you can increase the number of units you can have up to virtually 4000 making for giant epic battles or just little fights.

Only problems with the game. When finished the campaign and done a few skirmishes it starts getting a bit tedious (even with the war of the ring different play style i'm hopind the add on pack will increase things to do). Also, if you don't have 5.5GB or a decent video card it won't work (which lots of people have had trouble with) but check your computer for the right requirements, get the game and enjoy a fabulous gaming experience with the most amazing graphics.

4.0 out of 5 stars A pretty good game., 21 May 2006
By Ja Bradford - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I have to say this is a good game. There's no doubt about it. The graphics are superb and there is so much to do it will take a while to get tired of it. However to get those superb graphics you do need some kind of super computer. I thought I had a good computer, and I can only run it on Very low perfectly or low with some choppiness. However you can't ignore the fact that many improvements have been made since the last installment and it is a great game. However if you wish to buy it please read the system requirements before you do, otherwise it could be 30 quid down the drain. I know a lot of people have experienced some difficulties with it especially if you have a Geforce 4 MX graphics card. Just check out the requirements and enjoy the latest installment of EA's fantastic Battle for Middle Earth series.
